Abstract:

The Qingshankou formation in the Songliao basin belongs to thick fine-grained sedimentary rock, and it is an important interval for shale oil and gas accumulation. The classification of the fine-grained sedimentary rocks is the key premise for exploring unconventional oil and gas. Based on field survey and systematic sampling analysis, we studied the types, sedimentary environment and geochemical characteristics of the fine-grained sedimentary rock of the Qingshankou formation in the Songliao basin. According to TOC and the contents of carbonate and terrigenous clastic minerals, the fine-grained sedimentary rocks in the study area can be classified into fine-grained terrigenous clastic rocks with extremely poor, poor, moderate and rich organic matters, and fine-grained terrigenous carbonate rocks with poor and extremely poor organic matters. The fine-grained terrigenous clastic rocks with rich and moderate organic matters and the fine-grained terrigenous carbonate rocks with poor organic matter were deposited in a semi-deep lake environment with stiller water; the fine-grained terrigenous clastic rock with poor and extremely poor organic matters and the fine-grained terrigenous carbonate rock with extremely poor organic matters were deposited in a shallow lake environment; and carbonate rock was mainly deposited in an open saline lake basin in temperate to subtropical zones. The primary type of organic matters in the fine-grained sedimentary rocks is Type Ⅱ1. The fine-grained sedimentary rocks are medium-good quality source rocks. The fine-grained terrigenous clastic rocks with rich and poor organic matters in deep formations are primary targets for shale oil and gas exploration.
